| Synopsis:
In the far-off year of 1997, the Robinson family – Professor John Robinson, his wife Maureen, his son Will and his daughter Penny – along with Major Don West and a helpful robot – blast off to colonize Alpha Centauri for America. But when foreign spy Dr. Zachary Smith sabotages the ship, and becomes trapped on board, the Robinson family and company become hopelessly marooned in space, with no guidance system. Now, the lost humans travel from world to world, trying to find their way back to Earth, while keeping a close eye on the untrustworthy Dr. Smith. |

 Memory better than watching it September 13, 2008

I remembered this series from when I was a kid (I guess everyone still does "warning, warning--danger Will Robinson"). Sitting and watching a whole hour... eh.

This series [TV-Series 1965-1968] is formulated on the old serial cliff-hangers. The stages are cardboard and Styrofoam. The props look like anything lying around in the ware house. From the dialog you would not realize that the actors can and are acting. As the programs progress the stories get weirder to holds your attention. There are also several notable guests including Robbie the Robot that always outsmarts "The Robot" (Bob May) The Robot's voice is Dick Tufeld.
We all know the basic story of a saboteur Dr. Zachary Smith (Jonathan Harris) is too smart for his own good and his sabotage backfires from the start throwing the spaceship into who knows where with him trapped inside. What is worse is he never learns from episode to episode. Prof. John Robinson (Guy Williams) is the good guy father that is always giving one hope of being found or getting back. Maureen Robinson (June Lockhart) is the stereotypical motherly type and is caught occasionally stopping John from beating Zackary's brains out. We have mischievous kids always wandering off to discover the new trouble. And a watered down love interest between daughter Judy (Marta Kristen) and Major Don West (Mark Goddard).
How will they survive?
What strange creature or disaster will befall them this week?
Some one may have modified the media somewhat. "Oh, the pain, the pain." However we buy what we can.

Dr.Smith was afraid of his own shadow but the boy would always find a way to show the good doctor,there is nothing to be a afraid of...well until the Robot starts frailing his arms and spinning around going.."DANGER..DANGER Will Robinson DANGER!!!"
This is a classic show and a wonderful "download" collection.

Granted...the story is ludicrous and the acting is just slightly above an elementary school play, but God, I love this show! I love this particular episode the best of all the others in the series because the Space Family Robinson actually makes it back to Earth! Only problem is that it's decades before they ever launched and Earthlings are paranoid about things like flying saucers and robots who shoot lightning out of their claws. Jonathan Harris is his usual hysterical self in the guise of Dr. Zachary Smith (Oh the pain, the pain!) and Bill Mumy manages to save all of the adults once more as Will Robinson.
This is another show that I'd love to see some network ressurect like Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica...this time treating the story seriously and making the audience keenly aware of the many dangers humans might face if they were truly lost in the vastness of space without any help other than their own wits and the supplies at hand. If any network big-wigs are reading this...I AM available to work on such a project if you're so inclined!

[Note: it appears that reviews written for one episode are shown in all of the episodes, not just the one they were written for.]
Episode 2 shows the launch of the Jupiter 2 and provides the background for how and why Dr. Smith was aboard. It was very interesting to compare this episode with episode 1, which covers the launch and a crash on a planet, but no Dr. Smith, and no robot! Different theme music, too.
My rating is not based on the artistic/acting/story/special effects merits of the episode. If you want to see the origins of many pop-culture references, this is a must-see. You'll have to go to other episodes to hear "Danger, Will Robinson!", though.
